What are you doing to preserve/reserve the Earth's many gifts and resources? Think about it and be responsible. If you're not currently doing anything, start out with these something small adjustments:

• Use locally grown foods - be mindful of the amount your purchase and your plate portions. A tremendous amount of energy goes into producing and transporting food much of which eventually ends up in landfills due to our wasteful ways. Imagine the tremendous good you do by supporting local farmers, buying less, eating less and saving more!
• Turn the water off while brushing your teeth or take baths instead of showers. Do you know how much water is wasting while brushing teeth???? If we follow dentists recommendation of brushing your teeth at least 1-2 minutes to maintain good dental health we'd be wasting so much water! This just blows my mind!
• Use paper or canvas re-usable bags instead of plastic. Again, the amount of energy that goes into making the bags compounded with the fact that these items will never break down into anything beneficial to the earth makes this one an easy habit to implement.
• Recycle your wardrobe. Get with friend or neighbors and have a clothes trading party! This is a great way to save items from going into landfills and keep money in your pockets!!! A great website for saving items from landfills is www.Freecycle.org. This is one of my favorites! A wonderful way to trade unwanted items with people who are close to your home or office.

My point is, there are small ways that you can start today to make a difference! Remember, the Earth has been entrusted to us. What are you doing to treat Mother Earth better? These are just a FEW of the things you and your family could do today to give back.

Become aware of what you're doing - small things really add up - saves money AND natural resources!!! THINK AND DO!

SO, you're ready to sell. You've interviewed agents, your head is spinning after all the number crunching, power point presenting, jargon throwing has culminated and you still have no idea what a good Agent should be doing to sell your home, for the most money in the least amount of time.

Pricing right from the onset is optimal. Placing the home listing information in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), calling other local Real Estate Agents and client databases, holding open houses, print and online advertising are what most agents do to sell.

But what else? What else could be done so you, Mr. & Mrs. Seller, can move on to your new home, job, city, spouse etc?

Here are some ideas as outlined by renowned New York Real Estate Mogul Barbara Corcoran in a recent interview on NBC's Today Show:

* Don't be hasty about price reductions. PRICE REDUCTIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER AND SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED BEFORE PUTTING THE HOME ON THE MARKET.Take care to price right from the beginning and if reductions are in order, make noticeable price slashes to create a buzz or sense of urgency amongst buyers.

* Ebay is a viable selling tool. For a fee you can market and possibly sell your home. This tactic could be used in conjunction with the Realtors other marketing efforts.

* Use virtual tours and personal videos and post on YouTube and intergrate into other websites. This is a great way to show potential buyers why your home is special and different from the competition.

Remember, finding ways to get buyers into your home before they visit the competition is key. A good Real Estate Agent is creative, willing to take risks and put the time and energy that is necessary to sell your home.

Just some things to ponder on. Remember, your comments, inquiries or request for more information are always welcome. Thanks for visiting!
